Tag: Trump Twitter Account Is State Action Amendment One Firmly Applies August 20 2020

Irony Alert: Trump Has Repeatedly Claimed His Tweets Are “The Official Actions” Of The White House…

…but this morning, he petitioned the US Supreme Court, for a review — of multiple lower courts’ decisions which say, as an official White House communication device (one by which he claims to have used, in many cases, as the exclusive means of appointing people, under the APA, and firing other people — and taking various executive actions — instead of APA paperwork)… he cannot block or mute other Twitter users, since he admits he’s a state actor (on that account), and all US citizens have an Amendment, First… right to inspect (and comment upon) the actions of this (such as he is) “Commander” in Chief. [That perforce they cannot do, if he has blocked them from reading them.]

In sum, Trump doesn’t want his widdle fee-fees to to be upset, by injections of truth serum-by-tweet. He will lose — again. But this guy… is shameless.

Here is his 187 page cert. petition. It is… in a word… preposterous.

Come on swift wings now, oh ye November Third, in the Year of Our Lord… 2020.

Marginalia…

Please excuse the thin appearance, here. This was to be a back up site, until blog.com came back online. But that seems unlikely now, so this has become the main site. Only the last twelve years' posts are here for now. The full twenty years of archived material will be imported here, once I recover my full sized images and graphics from that period, either from a cached version of the old site, or if I can find them on that old laptop I long ago moth-balled. Smile. I just don't care for the low-resolution, grainy pixelated images available via Google search at the moment. So we will wait for full size imagery -- on the oldest posts. In truth, those old posts have little relevance to today's electoral politics, except in so far as they suggest very little has changed over time -- in Mr. Hinderaker's world-view. He remains pretty regularly delusional -- since at least 2002. And that is not just a coincidence -- as one nation, we elected Mr. Obama a few years later, and Mr. Hinderaker has never recovered -- to a reality based view of America. America is now a more centrist nation, than the one he lauded under Reagan and Bush 41, 43 and 45. So be it. 45 will now be gone by November. COVID-19 has shown even the ardent partisans 45 is an emperor with no clothes.
